The book Istria and its Development Paths from 1973, edited by Juraj Pađen and Stanko Žuljić, is a comprehensive analysis of the economic and social development of Istria in the context of the then Yugoslavia.
The book describes how the Western Balkans, after initial democratic hopes in the 2000s, slipped into competitive authoritarianism. It explains the mechanisms of "strongman" rule, the role of EU stabilocracy and why democracy does not consolidate.
The author explores why Tito remains a popular symbol of stability, social security and independence, despite critical views of his regime. The book maps the cultural, political and everyday manifestations of "Titostalgia".
